I work extensively with mindfulness and guided meditation as a tools for greater self-knowledge and healing. Reactivity to the stressors of life is often based on limiting negative beliefs about self, others, and life itself. We unknowingly pick up such ideas in childhood and hold them as gospel truths, when actually they are lies that keep us stuck. The focus of therapy is to see beyond these false ideas, to loosen the energetic blocks that they cause, and to be free to live the truth of who you really are--beyond your anxiety, depression, compulsive thoughts, or habits. Change is much more possible than you may think!

My ideal client is someone who thinks they're not enough or who holds back or hides their best selves. I enjoy working with over-thinkers, worriers, and perfectionists as well as clients who have many reasons to be happy but aren't. I am particularly adept at helping people who feel "different" learn to find their truth and finally own and celebrate their uniqueness. By removing the layers that often bury our authentic selves a sense of ease can replace the constant churn of worrying, and confidence can replace self doubt simply by updating old beliefs that no longer serve us so we can finally relax into who we really are.

Spirituality Therapists

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
